BUILT-IN FIRE-EXTINGUISHER HOLDER.

Application led November 24, 1926. Serial No. 150,584.

This invention relates to embedded holders for lire extinguishers and particularly to an improved built-in holder merging into the wall in which it is fit-ted while at the same time permitting easy access tothe extinguisher.

Another' object of the invention is to provide a built-in holder for tire extinguishers wherein the casing or body of t-he holder merges into the molding which in turn merges into an expanded metal portion interlocking with the plaster of the wall.

A still further object of the invent-ion is to provide a built-in holder for tire extinguishers, the same being formed of sheet metal or other tire proof metal and so construeted 4that the same may be formed in one piece or in several pieces and joined together.

ln the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a horizontal sectional view through part of a wall with a built-in holder shown connected therewith, said holder disclosing an embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1, approximately on line 2 2.

Figure 3 is a reduced front view o1 the holder shown in Figure 1, the holder being removed from the wall.

'Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, 1 indicates a wall which is provided with plaster surfaces 2 and 3 and any suitable kind of frame t. Connected-with the frame t are top and bottom plates 5 and 6, which with the side plates 7 and 8 and part of the wall 1, form a chamber 9. It will be noted that the wall 1 is out away at one point so as to receive what may be termed the container 10. This is shown as a substantially semi-circular piece of sheet metal having ends 11 and 12, said ends Vand the sides of member 10 merging into a molding 13, which in turn merges into an expanded metal section 14.

As shown in the drawing, all of the parts just describedare integral and :formed ot' sheet metal but it desired, they could be made in a number of parts and connected together in any desired manner, as for instance, by welding or soldering. Also the parts could be made of other material than metal without departing from the spirit ot thepinvention, as for instance, pottery. Also, the shape disclosed is a preferable shape as it permits the hand of a. person to be readily inserted for grasping the lire extinguisher 15 but if desired, the shape could be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention, provided of course, a suliicient opening was allowed to permit the extinguisher 15 to be removed and applied freely. The extinguisher 15 is held in place by a suitable clip 16, riveted or otherwise secured at 17 to the rear part of the container 10. The de- Vice is adapted for use in many places, as for instance, in the kitchen .and halls of homes and also in theatres and other public places.

vWhat I claim is:

1. Ak built-in iire extinguisher holder comprising a sheet metal container open on one side, integral top and'bottom members, and a molding encircling the open side of the container and formed integral with the container and said members.

2. A built-in container for ire extinguishers comprising a substantially rectangular molding, an expanded metal'seetion extending from one edge of the molding for inter locking with the plaster of the wall when the device is in use, and a container extending from the other edge of the molding, said container, molding and expanded metal being of one piece of sheet metal.

3. A built-in holder for lire extinguishers comprising a fire proof container, and means for connecting the container to a wall, said means including expanded metal extensions from the top and side edges oi' the container.

4. A built-in holder for tire extinguishers comprising ,a tire proof container of sheet metal adapted to be set into a wall, said container having expanded top, and side edge extensions and a curved bottom extension merging into the wall structure and acting to produce a finished appearance and at the same time anchoring means for holding the container in place.
